Seems to me that you just need to call a few plumbers, get some estimates,
and pick the one you can afford.
If you think you can do it yourself talk with the plumbers that are giving
you estimates as what they think they need to do. This way you can find out
if you would be able to fix your problem, how much will be needed etc.
